You can add modified and new files in your working directory to existing shelves.
Tip: You can also drag files from your working directory or the Source Tree window to a shelf in the Shelves window.
1. Choose View > Shelves.
The Shelves window opens.
2. Select a shelf to store files in and click Shelve Files.
The Add to Shelf dialog box opens.
3. Select the files to shelve.
4. Expand the Local file options to select options for handling local files.
5. Select Recursive to shelve all new and modified files in the selected directory and all subdirectories.
Note: Recursively adding files to a shelf ignores directories that do not have a matching repository on the branch. Only modified and new files are added.
6. Click OK.
The files are added to the shelf.
Note: After a file is shelved, only other files from the same branch can be added to the shelf. However, you can unshelve files across branches. For example, you may add new files to a shared shelf from the working directory for a workspace branch. Other users can unshelve those files to the working directory associated with their workspace branch or a baseline branch on the same mainline branch. See Unshelving files.
